The Baltimore Orioles have agreed to a long-term contract extension with catcher/first baseman Samuel Basallo, according to Andy Kostka of the Baltimore Banner. Basallo's pact will cover eight years and guarantee him $67 million.

Baltimore Orioles catcher Samuel Basallo has been in the major leagues for less than a week, but the team already likes what it sees from the young star. Basallo reportedly agreed to an eight-year, $67 million extension with the club Friday, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.

This is the first time in the Mike Elias era that the Orioles have given an extension to one of their players.
